2009-01-22 Assigned to INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION reassignment INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION ASSIGNMENT OF ASSIGNORS INTEREST (SEE DOCUMENT FOR DETAILS). Assignors: DORAN, JAMES R., Boss, Gregory J., HAMILTON, RICK A., II, SAND, ANNE R.
Under the present invention, users are provided with the capability to select how energy will be throttled in shortage conditions. For example, users can promise to throttle or cut energy to devices that they consider noncritical (e.g. television, toaster, stereo) in exchange for a promise that the energy company will continue to give them enough to run more essential devices (e.g. lights, well pump, etc.). As users agree to lower usage in response to a energy shortage, they are provided a higher QoS rating than users who do not offer to lower usage. As a shortage worsens, conserving users will be allocated energy before non-conserving users. Enforcement and fulfillment of obligations established in agreements may be automated to ensure compliance.
The present application is related in some aspects to commonly owned and co-pending application entitled "Framework for Managing Consumption of Energy", assigned attorney docket no. END920070426US1, which was filed on Nov. 22, 2008, and was assigned application Ser. No. 12/208,422, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. The present application is also related in some aspects to commonly owned and co-pending application entitled "Policy-Based Energy Management", assigned attorney docket no. END920070427US1, which was filed on Nov. 22, 2008, and was assigned application Ser. No. 12/208,510, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
This invention includes methods for providing variable energy pricing for objects (e.g., devices) of a system in shortage conditions. This responds to customer price sensitivity by considering the maximum threshold a consumer will bid for energy to a given device during a situation when less than adequate supply exists for demand.
Currently consumers are charged the same rate for their energy usage, irrespective if they conserve or not, if there is a shortage or not, etc. Current energy systems are very limited in their ability to handle shortage situations. Given the threat of terrorist attacks, natural disasters, brownouts, blackouts and supply/demand imbalances, better systems are needed. Consumers give very little thought to non-critical devices or groups of devices that could be throttled down or managed if needed.
A first aspect of the present invention provides a method for managing energy consumption and quality of service (QoS), comprising: determining an energy throttle plan in exchange for a given QoS; detecting an energy shortage condition; throttling energy usage according to the energy throttling plan; providing the given QoS in response to the throttling; and monitoring the energy usage to ensure compliance with energy throttling plan.
A second aspect of the present invention provides a system for managing energy consumption and quality of service (QoS), comprising: a module for determining an energy throttle plan in exchange for a given QoS; a module for detecting an energy shortage condition; a module for throttling energy usage according to the energy throttling plan; a module for providing the given QoS in response to the throttling; and a module for monitoring the energy usage to ensure compliance with energy throttling plan.
A third aspect of the present invention provides a computer readable medium containing a program product for managing energy consumption and quality of service (QoS), the computer readable medium comprising instructions for enabling a computer system to perform the following: determining an energy throttle plan in exchange for a given QoS; detecting an energy shortage condition; throttling energy usage according to the energy throttling plan; providing the given QoS in response to the throttling; and monitoring the energy usage to ensure compliance with energy throttling plan.
A fourth aspect of the present invention provides a method for deploying an application for managing energy consumption and quality of service (QoS), comprising: providing a computer infrastructure being operable to: determine an energy throttle plan in exchange for a given QoS; detect an energy shortage condition; throttle energy usage according to the energy throttling plan; provide the given QoS in response to the throttling; and monitor the energy usage to ensure compliance with energy throttling plan.
A fifth aspect of the present invention provides a computer-implemented business method for managing energy consumption and quality of service (QoS), comprising: determining an energy throttle plan in exchange for a given QoS; detecting an energy shortage condition; throttling energy usage according to the energy throttling plan; providing the given QoS in response to the throttling; and monitoring the energy usage to ensure compliance with energy throttling plan.
A sixth aspect of the present invention provides a data processing system for managing energy consumption and quality of service (QoS), comprising a memory medium containing instructions, a bus coupled to the memory medium, and a processor coupled to the bus that when executing the instructions cases the data processing system to: determine an energy throttle plan in exchange for a given QoS; detect an energy shortage condition; throttle energy usage according to the energy throttling plan; provide the given QoS in response to the throttling; and monitor the energy usage to ensure compliance with energy throttling plan.
FIG. 1 depicts an illustrative energy management hierarchy according to the present invention.
FIG. 2 depicts an interface to heterogeneous objects according to the present invention.
FIG. 3 depicts a method flow diagram according to the present invention.
FIG. 4 depicts a more specific computerized implementation according to the present invention.
"Set"—a quantity of at least one.
"Object"—any device, group of devices, or organization using devices that consume energy.
This technology can leverage the framework hierarchy, energy control manager, policy control manager, GUI, as described in the above-incorporated patent applications. For clarity, corresponding description of some of such elements is given in conjunction with FIGS. 1-2. Referring now to FIG. 1 a framework hierarchy 10 is shown. FIG. 1 is to demonstrate, among other things, that the present invention could be implemented in conjunction with any hierarchy of devices, regardless of complexity. In the example shown, energy control management systems/energy control manager (hereinafter ECM) are utilized on multiple levels. Municipality ECM 12 works in conjunction with business park ECM 14, hospital ECM 16, and community infrastructure ECM 18. Further, business park ECM 14 interacts with business A ECM 20 and business B ECM 22, each of which controls energy consumption with their own devices 24 and 26. Similarly, hospital ECM 16 controls energy consumption by devices 28. Community infrastructure ECM 18 is shown interacting with police department ECM 30, school ECM 32, and fire department ECM 34, which among themselves, manage devices 36 and 38. As can be seen, a ECM under the present invention can not only interact with devices, but also with other ECMs.
Referring now to FIG. 2, the functions of a ECM 50 will be described. As used in FIG. 2, entities 56A-n represents any business object that has one or more component/device. Sample entities may include a hospital, business or municipality. As such, devices 54A-N are each a piece of the overall system who's energy may be modulated. This may be a particular software application, piece of IT hardware (server, storage, networking switch, etc. . . . ), other hardware (life support equipment, refrigerator, etc.).
Regardless, this functionality may be implemented with a single energy management server, groups of servers, or a hierarchy of servers. A hierarchy is the preferred embodiment for an enterprise system, as that allows for delegation to sub-entities.
As further depicted, ECM 50 has a set of application programming interfaces (APIs) 52A-N which allow communication to occur between ECM 50 and devices 54A-N and/or entities 56A-N. Although not shown in FIG. 2, an API would also allow ECM 50 to interface with another ECM. Heterogeneous devices from different vendors may have very different interfaces. The technology described herein will interface to different devices, or to any known or future energy management standard. For example, the interface to communicate with IBM WebSphere XD software (WebSphere is a trademark of IBM Corp in the United States and/or other countries) may differ greatly from the interface for a medical device to manage energy to an anesthesia machine, which would differ from the interface to a refrigerator.
Under the present invention, customers preregister with the energy provider, including the following information: listing and groupings of devices; price sensitivity for each, communicated as either a maximum threshold or variable price per device(s); energy limiting capabilities and methods for each; and indicators for devices that are critical to safety or medical necessity. When an energy shortage situation occurs, the system enables consumers to request a real-time modification of their management policy to change their price sensitivity. The energy provider can then manage (e.g., throttle) energy to consumers based on preset policy and severity of shortage. Then, consumers are billed based on energy used and agreed to price based on device usage.
Energy usage in a home or business may be thought of in terms of a fixed and a variable component. The fixed component keeps main systems running (well pump, refrigerator, enough heat to keep pipes from freezing, etc.). The variable component includes the energy that is more easily conserved, such as the extra few degrees of heat for comfort, extra showers for more residents, longer shower for preference, etc.
Energy shortages may occur at different levels of severity (slight shortage of only 5% reduced supply, critical shortage with only 50% of usual supply, etc). These agreements may be negotiated for any levels of shortage, so that appropriate amount of reduction would be required.
The customer and provider may pre-negotiate for a given QoS agreement for a set amount of throttle. As different levels of required conservation may occur, it is expected that multiple throttle levels and their associated QoS agreements will be established. The end result is that an energy throttling plan will be developed for the customer and provider.
If sufficient time is available before conservation is required (e.g. a shortage in supply has occurred), it is preferable for the energy provider to notify customers of the shortage and upcoming throttle.
The customer may wish to negotiate a new or renegotiate an existing agreement once the shortage has occurred.
The Energy Conservation Manager sends the signal that energy is to be throttled. This may be sent to a central energy manager at a location, directly to a device, to an in-line energy controlling device, etc. This step in this invention involves the signaling only. Actual controlling of energy to a device is done by other known or future means. Regardless, throttling is done in accordance with the energy throttling plan.
If mandatory, once Energy Conservation System initiates throttle, customer does not have control over throttle until it is complete.
If voluntary, customer may override throttle command. In this case, if agreed to level of compliance is not achieved, customer does not get promised QoS level and is at risk of losing all energy.
Throttling will be monitored to ensure user is complying with negotiated cutback. This may use any known or future methods of determining energy usage. One example of currently used technology includes a smart meter at the customer premise that records amount of kilowatts used per each time duration.
1. Energy consumers pre-register with energy provider, agreeing to levels of conservation in exchange for QoS.
2. Situation occurs to require conservation (e.g. shortage condition or other mandate).
3. Energy providers notify users of initiation of conservation requirement.
4. Users lower consumption based on predefined agreement.
5. If shortage worsens, conserving users will be provided their agreed-to minimum amount of energy while non-conserving users will possibly lose all energy.
6. Energy usage is monitored to ensure compliance.
1. Situation occurs to require conservation (e.g. shortage condition or other mandate).
2. Energy providers notify users of initiation of conservation requirement.
3. Users negotiate with energy provider for QoS based on amount of conservation.
4. Users lower energy consumption to agreed-to level.
Collectively, the process is shown in FIG. 3. As depicted, in steps S1 and S2 is it determined whether an energy throttling plan is pre-negotiated. In either case, in step S3, the energy provider (Power Company) detects an energy shortage condition. In step S4, it is determined whether sufficient time is present to warn the users/customers. If so, customers may negotiate or renegotiate an energy throttling plan in real time in step S5. If there was not sufficient time to warn the users/customers, the negotiated throttles are initiated in step S6, and then monitored to ensure compliance in step S7.
Referring now to FIG. 4, a computerized implementation 100 of the present invention is shown. As depicted, implementation 100 includes computer system/ECM 104 deployed within a computer infrastructure 102. This is intended to demonstrate, among other things, that the present invention could be implemented within a network environment (e.g., the Internet, a wide area network (WAN), a local area network (LAN), a virtual private network (VPN), etc.), or on a stand-alone computer system. In the case of the former, communication throughout the network can occur via any combination of various types of communications links. For example, the communication links can comprise addressable connections that may utilize any combination of wired and/or wireless transmission methods. Where communications occur via the Internet, connectivity could be provided by conventional TCP/IP sockets-based protocol, and an Internet service provider could be used to establish connectivity to the Internet. Still yet, computer infrastructure 102 is intended to demonstrate that some or all of the components of implementation 100 could be deployed, managed, serviced, etc. by a service provider who offers to implement, deploy, and/or perform the functions of the present invention for others.
Computer system is intended to represent any type of computer system that may be implemented in deploying/realizing the teachings recited herein. In this particular example, computer system 104 represents an illustrative system that could represent a ECM.

"WE BELIEVE IN ANGELS" MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDED BY BILL AND CHRISTINE SCHEIBE
Joliet Catholic Academy is proud to announce the creation of a new scholarship, The Scheibe "We Believe in Angels" Memorial Scholarship, founded by faculty member Christine Scheibe and her husband Bill. Christine teaches English and is the head coach of the Girls Varsity Volleyball team. Both Christine and Bill are dedicated to the team and more importantly Joliet Catholic Academy.
The Scheibes were excited to share the news of the "We Believe in Angels" scholarship fund and posted the following letter for the JCA community on the Joliet Catholic Academy Girls Volleyball Facebook page.
Since this news will be released in the next JCA "Our Tradition" newsletter…Bill and Christine Scheibe are proud to announce the creation of The Scheibe Family "We Believe in Angels" Memorial Scholarship, a $25,000 endowed scholarship that will be fully vested by Jan. 1, 2014.
The beauty of an endowed scholarship at JCA: 1. It lasts a lifetime. 2. Anyone can contribute. To put it into context, it takes approximately $250,000 in an endowed scholarship for ONE student to attend JCA for ONE year. While this is one of the biggest financial commitments we have ever made, we understand it is only a small drop of water in the ocean that is known as tuition assistance.
Bill and Christine feel strongly about honoring the memory of his mother, father, and brother, all of whom died in a recent 14-month stretch. The "We Believe in Angels" is inspired by JCA's first girls volleyball state championship, when that banner was hung from the rafters at ISU's Redbird Arena and became a hallmark of the program.
We believe in JCA. We believe in Jeff Budz, Ed Mayer, Dan Sharp, the administration, the board of directors and board of members, the Carmelites, the Franciscans, and the finest faculty and staff that we consider our "second" family. We are humbled and honored to have this opportunity to help further a cause incredibly dear to both of our hearts, and that's a faith-based Catholic education at JCA.
If anyone would like to contribute to this scholarship, please contact John Horn, JCA's Director of Development and one of Bill's closest friends, at 815.741.0563 or by email at jhorn@jca-online.org. We trust John completely. It doesn't have to be much — $10, $20, $100, whatever amount. Every little bit counts. Our dream is to grow this scholarship to the point that, someday, at least one student won't have to worry about attending JCA.

The old building of Serbian Ministry of Finance, Belgrade, Serbia (jaime.silva, CC BY-NC-ND)
On May 2018, Dušan Vujović, the Serbian Minister of Finance submitted his resignation. Siniša Mali, the mayor of Belgrade, replaced him.
For several month there have been speculations on the reconstruction of Serbian Government headed by the Prime Minister Ms. Ana Brnabić, and Dušan Vujović's resignation has been the subject of speculation even longer. Namely, even though his resignation letter does say that he made such a decision for personal reasons only, some people in media and politics believe that there were strong professional reasons, too.
The Serbian government issued a brief statement which said that "the Prime Minister Ana Brnabic is grateful to Dušan Vujović for his cooperation, his commitment to the goals of the Government, and the results achieved in his department." After his resignation, Vujović went to Jordan to the annual meeting of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) as a former minister.
Soon afterward, media speculations about who might succeed him followed. Siniša Mali, the mayor of Belgrade, was thought to be the most probable candidate. This turned out to be a solid prediction because by the end of May, the Assembly discussed choosing Siniša Mali as a replacement.
It was back in the middle of last year that Vujović made critical remarks about the work of the government. "Serbia did not save up, but rather failed in realizing the plan," he said when asked about the failure to manage RSD7bn of funds allocated for capital investments. Since the Serbian state finances have produced a surplus in the ruling circles, a lively debate has begun on how to spend these funds. It has been mentioned that salaries in the public sector and pensions might be increased (i.e., the pensions might be the same as before the earlier cuts).
Vujović emphasized his disagreement with the sudden increase in public spending on several occasions. During Kopaonik business forum, the largest gathering of business and political elites in Serbia, Vujović stressed that "he will not give consent to make salary and pension growth faster than the growth of the economy." According to N1 television, on that occasion, he was not willing to answer the question of whether he would remain in the government should the increase be still higher than the economy growth rate.
According to Anica Telesković, a journalist of "Politika," he also expressed his dissatisfaction with the government's willingness to increase the public spending, when he had a lecture at the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts that was not open to the public. "Now, everyone, rightly, expects to share the result. But if we do so now, it won't be long before we go back to where we started a little bit more than three years ago," Vujović warned.
According to Vujović, in the last couple of decades, Serbia has been in the same situation in which it is now already four times – achieving short-term monetary stability. However, in order to turn this trend into a long-term sustainable and inclusive economic growth, it is necessary to carry out institutional and structural reforms. "What we have is just seed material, and we want enough wheat to make bread out of it and then eat it," said Vujović.
Vujović began his career as an economist at the Institute of International Politics and Economics in Belgrade, and since 1975, he was an assistant at the Faculty of Economics in Belgrade. Since 1979, he has been a part of the World Bank Young Professionals Program. He continued to climb the career ladder at the World Bank between 1992 and his retirement in 2011. Even after his retirement, he continued to provide consulting services for this international institution.
When it comes to Serbian political and financial circles, Vujović was considered to be one of the most probable candidates for the position of the governor of the National Bank of Serbia in 2010, since Radovan Jelašić submitted his resignation to this job. However, Dejan Šoškić was elected instead.
Since April, 2014, Vujović was the minister, first he became the Minister of Economy, though he remained one only for a few months. In August, 2014 he was appointed as the Minister of Finance, after Lazar Krstić resigned. Krstić insisted on a strict program of monetary reforms that the government at the time found politically unacceptable – according to his statements, the program was to include "the reduction of pensions by at least 20 per cent, the reduction of public sector salaries by at least 15 per cent, the dismissal of 160,000 people from the public sectors, and 30 per cent increase in electricity prices."
The reforms that Vujović implemented as the Minister of Finance were more moderate, but, again, they, too, included unpopular measures for reducing public expenditures.
Vujović's first successful move was the achievement of the precautionary arrangement between Serbia and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) (read more). According to Anka Milivojević, a journalist at NIN magazine, Serbia's position within IMF was rather poor. Namely, in 2012, the arrangement between the Serbian government and the IMF was broken due to government's decision to increase of public spending prior to the elections (the original plan was to have a deficit of RSD115bn throughout the year, but by the end of April 2012, it already amounted to RSD83bn). "That's why our reputation in this financial institution was bad – we were known for making promises and then not keeping them," wrote Ms Milivojević. In November, 2014, Vujović announced that the agreement with the IMF had been reached.(read more on the latest arrangement between Serbia and IMF)
Vujović took over Serbian state finances when the prospects were rather dim. According to him, Serbia was three months away from bankruptcy. At the end of 2014, Serbia had a large deficit of 6.6 per cent of GDP, while at the end of last year, there was a surplus of 1.2 per cent of GDP. There was also a decline in the public debt in GDP: from 70.4 per cent (at the end of 2014) to 61.6 per cent (at the end of 2017). The downward trend has continued in 2018, as well.
In his article published in NIN magazine, Vujović pointed out that "compared to the previous four fiscal consolidation programs, the fifth program had a positive impact on two deficits (the internal – fiscal, and external – current balance of payments), it changed the dynamics of GDP growth, reduced unemployment to a great extent, increased the foreign direct investments, and improved the business environment and the position of Serbia in the international financial market."
Vujović stated that the turning point in the GDP growth occurred in the Q4'14. Before 2014, Serbia suffered severe consequences of the international financial crisis, together with the mistakes in its own economic policy. Economic policy makers of 2009 seem to have overlooked the fact that the induced increase in salaries and pensions would lead to an increase in import, and thus to a further deterioration in the foreign trade balance. As a result, Serbia was burdened with huge debts and was in a highly unfavorable financial situation between 2009 and 2012. "Basically, they did good things, but the Serbian economic system could not endure that," Vujović said about the policy of his predecessors in an earlier statement. There was no significant change in the economic policy between 2012 and 2014, even though the ruling party did change. According to Vujović, it was only after the floods that hit Serbia in 2014 that people began to see things more clearly.
During 2015, Vujović drew up a state budget that had a pivotal role in deficit reduction and a subsequent public debt reversal. There were no hidden expenditures in this budget draft and the state guarantees were not issued for the ongoing consumption of public enterprises, but only for investments.
He "rebalanced the rebalancing" of the budget, which was somewhat ridiculed by the public. However, this budget that he called "historic" might turn out to be the right solution if his successor to the position of the Minister of Finance does not take a sharp turn.

The area now "stinks of smoke"
A fire started deliberately in a community bin room has left devastation in its wake as houses, garages, gardens and even a wedding dress were damaged by the flames.
Images of the ferocious blaze in Keynsham show houses engulfed by the smoke as the outside of their homes and gardens were destroyed.
Houses nearby were also damaged by the heat, while police reported an electricity sub station had also been ruined.
Geoffrey Richards, 59, claims his daughter's wedding dress now "stinks of smoke", following the blaze which was started in a bin area near his house.
He also says the front of his property has been badly damaged, and his garden is all but destroyed.
The bins were deliberately set alight just yards away from Mr Richards' back garden.
Two fire engines were sent to Tintagel Road in Keynsham at around 1pm Sunday, July 22, following reports of the blaze.
Mr Richards said: "The front of my house is totally melted. All the glass on my windows is shattered and the garden is destroyed.
The bin room close to Mr Richards' house has reportedly been there for around three years. And he says he has always had concerns about its proximity to the garden.
He said: "If it wasn't for my actions the damage could have been far worse. When I originally rang the fire service they didn't consider it a serious incident as it was a bin fire.
Although fire crews managed to get the blaze under control quickly, the damage caused to Mr Richards' property had already been done.
His garden, windows and gutters had been badly damaged. He also said his daughter's wedding dress now stinks of smoke.
Pictures taken at the scene show the damage caused to the bins and surrounding property.
The bins have always been a particular point of concern for Mr Richards.
He said: "I've always said that if they catch fire they'll set fire to my garden hedge immediately and that'll be the end of my house.
Avon Fire and Rescue is now investigating.
A spokesman said: "We were called at 1pm and sent two fire engines to the scene.
"Unfortunately the fire affected the rear of nearby garages and four terraced houses nearby suffered heat damage. This fire was started deliberately."
Police are also involved in the investigation.
A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Constabulary said: "We are investigating a fire in Tintagel Close, Keynsham.
"Several garages, an electricity sub station and some houses were damaged. No-one was injured.
"Anyone with information is asked to contact us, quoting reference number 5218163649".
No arrests have yet been made, but police will release more information as they get it.
Mr Walker lives in flats adjacent to Tintagel Close, Keynsham. The sound of screaming could be heard a few streets away from a massive fire in Somerset, one resident has claimed.
A clean-up operation is underway and Curo, the housing association who runs the bin store and properties in the area, say they working on repairs.
They are also going to provide a solution to the lost bins and try to stop any future incident.
Repairs to be made - A spokeswoman said: "There was a fire at the bin store at Tintagel Close in Keynsham on Sunday which caused significant damage. We were on-site on Sunday and are there again today. Residents' homes – both Curo properties and privately-owned homes - facing the bin store suffered damage to fascias and windows, and we'll be attending to assess the damage and arrange for repairs to be carried out."
Working with the fire service - Curo will be working with the fire service to assist them with their investigation.
Temporary arrangements will be put in place - A temporary solution has been put in place while a more permanent one is thought of. Work is already underway to put this temporary solution in place. The spokeswoman said: "Our immediate priority is to clear the site and make temporary arrangements for residents to be able to dispose of waste safely. We are delivering f our large 1,100 litre capacity metal bins with lids to the site; these will be located in the courtyard." Curo asks that residents place their waste inside black bags in the large 1,100 litre metal capacity bins, which will be collected by B&NES in the normal way.
What you should do if you have concerns - Any Curo residents with concerns are asked to contact the housing association on 01225 366000.

Q: I have found a bug--how do I know which to report to? I have found a bug with a few applications such as Gimp 2.8 and TuxGuitar on 12.04. Whenever I start the application, its icon will not appear on the Alt-Tab switcher and it will not appear on the Launcher. But, pinning the application to the launcher and then loading the program will allow the icon to be on the switcher.
Here is my question: Should I report this bug to Unity or to Gimp/TuxGuitar?

A: This happens with multiple applications; the common factor is the Unity launcher. Therefore, as aking1012 commented, you should report this against unity with ubuntu-bug unity. In the (somewhat unlikely) event that this turns out not to be the right package, it can be changed later (by you or a triager or developer).
Make sure your bug report thoroughly describes the problem, including what applications trigger it and which do not. Please also read the bug reporting documentation first (if you haven't done so already).

How can I reduce an applet's loading time in a web page? I am using a 78K applet. It takes more than 20 sec. to load.
Make sure all your applet code is inside a JAR file - if it's not (i.e. its just in a bunch of class files) then browsers will generally open a new HTTP connection for each file (including for the class files of inner classes) - for small files, it generally takes longer to open the socket for the connection that it does to actually transmit the data. In a similar vein, make sure resources (sounds, images) that your applet uses are also in the JAR file.
- put all your code in one class (with no inner-classes): you lose elegance and data hiding, but all the strings necessary for internal linking will be removed.
- make sure everything (methods & fields) that can be private is.
- don't put your code into a package unless you really have to.
- look at your identifiers (class, method and field names) - can you make them shorter? There are some commercial tools which do this (for protected names), and some obfuscators do it too.
Examine your code carefully - are you using functionality that could be simplified with better use of the runtime library? - many applet authors often reinvent the wheel.
In the worst case, make your applet in two parts, with one very small one that starts immediately and displays "please wait" while it loads the other classes over the network. This isn't any faster, but it prevents the user thinking you've crashed.
One small note - most browsers are "lazy" about starting the JVM and classloading the basic runtime classes - they generally do this only when they encounter a page containing an applet for the first time. This means that when you first point the browser at a page containing java, that first applet will take longer to be displayed, as it has to wait until a few hundred class files are classloaded by the browser from disk. Thus you only get accurate times for loading applets over the network when you've already gone to some java-enabled pages and thus caused the JVM to start. BTW, you won't see this issue in HotJava, as it has (by virtue of its java nature) already started the JVM long before you start going to pages.


Yesterday, March 30th, myself along with my brother Andrew and two friends, Tyler and Matt went out on a little excursion to Ross Lake. An hour drive from our doorstep we arrived at the trail head located in Flood Hope. Immediately the scenery was beautiful, I marveled at the fact that in all my time in BC I have never ventured off the highway into the little town surrounded by massive cliffs. Soon after we hit gravel we encountered snow, and then to our delight, out came the sunshine.
Matt led us to this little quarry where we found these massive slabs of rock lying around waiting to be taken away.
Upon our arrival we found the gates to the Ross Lake Provincial Park closed, so being a respectful bunch we refrained from busting the lock and set out on foot. The trudge through the ankle deep snow was well worth it. We were treated with an empty park and empty lake, making for some cool pictures. Ross lake is created in part by run off from the local Cascade Mountain Range. The views of the range were stunning.
A shot from the border towards the Cascade Mtns.
Ross Lake just so happens to sit right on the CA/US border. Being empty it was almost necessary that we take a gander at what lay on the other side. There is a line the trees cut along the entire border, quite incredible.
After some conversation about the Blackhawk helicopters that patrol the border we all had a bit of a scare when I pilot-in-training came over the mtns into the valley while we guiltily stood on the American side...The guys watch the heli as it does some rounds around the lake.
The athletic feat to get from my camera to the top of that stump in under 10 seconds was, in my mind, impressive.
All-in-all it was a fantastic day, we finished with wet feet and empty stomachs, but it's the experience that counts.


I do not run my business so that some entitled nativist may get a job. I run my business to creat wealth for american society. That is how this country got rich. That is why i support #hr392 #PassHR392Now . Also being a bigot is against the teaching of my lord.
Guys this is the last week for the fight of hr392. While the fight will continue in a different form for 2019. We need one last push for #PassHR392Now . Please call your senator and rep now.

Chicago Med takes on the biggest cyber threat of the year
Themen: Backup, Healthcare, Ransomware Protection, State and Local Government
5. April 2017 13. November 2019 Christine Barry
Fans of medical dramas are rarely without a great show to watch. NBC has a relatively young one in Chicago Med, which premiered in the fall of 2015. It's one of four shows in the Chicago franchise, alongside Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Justice. This week, viewers will get a look at what happens when Gaffney Chicago Medical Center gets hit with ransomware, which is the most damaging cyber threat we've seen in recent years.
Of course, our friends at the fictional hospital are hardly the first to have been hit with ransomware: there were 14 real hospitals infected in 2016. If the Chicago franchise follows real-life examples, then we'll see the fire department, police department, and the courts get hit with ransomware too.
Register here for our upcoming
webinar on how to keep
healthcare networks safe
from ransomware.
Ransomware is a real threat to governments, organizations, businesses, and individuals. Check out these Ransomware numbers from last year:
Nearly 50% of organizations have been infected with ransomware
Companies paid $209 million to ransomware criminals in Q1 2016
More than 4,000 ransomware attacks have occurred every day since January 2016, up from 1,000 per day in 2015
In 2017, attacks are expected to double 2016 numbers
And most businesses that were infected with ransomware faced at least two days of downtime to recover from the attack.
Obviously, hospitals can't afford two days of downtime.
The entertainment industry has been helping keep digital threats and cyber security in the thoughts of the public. Shows like Mr. Robot, Black Mirror, and CSI: Cyber are bringing ransomware and hacking into the spotlight, which can be a good thing for those of us working to improve the security posture of individuals and organizations across the globe. Hopefully, Chicago Med will give us a realistic look at what happens when life-saving technology is held hostage.
Chicago Med airs on NBC in the US Thursdays at 9/8c. You can view episodes online at the Chicago Med website here.

Best way to ship frozen fish to my Dad in NC?
Just caught a bunch of nice sea bass and cod together here in NY when he visited last week. I want to surprise him with the filets.
They are vac sealed and frozen.
Do I need to use dry ice?
I do this all the time in vast quantity.
The fish boxes come in different sizes - choose one that fits the fish as tightly as possible.
The frozen vac packs are like bricks with sharp edges, the more they move around the more will lose the seal (bags bust).
If they stay frozen you won't even know they busted. When thawed the will lose vacuum at that point.
Oh and they make foam liners for the wetlock boxes - you don't need them but if it makes the fish fit more tightly in the box it might help. You can also add old sweatshirts etc to fill the space.
YOU DO NOT WANT THE FROZEN FISH BAGS LOOSE IN THE BOX.
Oh and FEDEX - only mailed out on Mon, Tues, or Wed.
I'll defer to the guy with halibuts and Alaska in his signoff and have successfully shipped fish home from Alaska his way too.
That said i like dry ice. It is cheap and easy. I have shipped delicious south carolina shrimp to friends and family all over the country using a styrofoam cooler wrapped in packing tape filled with quart jugs of frozen shrimp and a couple pounds of dry ice.
Biggest thing like rbhankins says is keep it tight. Think of a yeti cooler how much colder it stays when it's jammed full. Newspaper, towels, rags, whatever.
I like dry ice too but it is problematic/complicated in air shipping due to what happens when dry ice sublimates in a non-vented container (it goes BOOM).
And it's just not necessary in reality.
I've never seen a wetlock fish box so I'll defer to the professional. Dry ice in thick Styrofoam may be cheaper though.
I think the biggest thing whic has rbhankins touched on and I did as well is air. You don't want air. Yuo want "ice" even if its in the form of frozen fish.
Some of the packing houses in Alaska will deep freeze filets, vac seal, and fill a (thin) styrofoam cooler that fits snug into a cardboard box and then ship It as is. No ice. I've seen this with my own eyes and been on the receiving end of it as well. The key (according to these guys) is getting fish down relaly cold really quick, and not having any movement ( remember movement generating heat in chemistry class?) inside your package.
We use Omaha steak type Styrofoam boxes. I vac the fillets and freeze them in the box I'm sending them in with lid off. Right before I ship I cover with latex foam pieces to fill the air gap, tape and ship. They get to NC from Florida just a frozen as they left.
There ya' go teasin' Me with those S.C. Shrimp again!!!
Dry ice is preferable when shipping cross country or if several days will elapse in transit. Oftentimes, it is cheaper to pay for dry ice and 2-3 day vs using ice and paying for next day.
We use dry ice when shipping lab samples at work.
Domestic Mail via Surface Transportation. A mailpiece sent via surface transportation may contain more than 5 pounds of dry ice. Mailpiece preparation is subject to the conditions for Packaging Instruction 9A in Appendix C.Note: A mailpiece that is prepared for surface transportation must not, under any circumstances, be routed via air transportation.
You and me both. I'd love to get some fresh shrimp up here right now.
Ship them to me and I'll make sure he gets them.
We ship Food around the world.
My suggestion is to pack it with Dry Ice.
If you are sending him more then 1 meal you want it to stay in a frozen state.
It defrosts for whatever reason, may have waste if he can't eat it all unless he refreezes?.
Some place sell Dry Ice pellets and some sell sliced block.
I would even suggest throwing some gel pacs in there.
when the dry ice sublimates, you still have some protection if delayed.
